Announcement of a Single-Source Award to Healthy Families San
Angelo, San Angelo, TX
AGENCY: Family and Youth Services Bureau, ACYF, ACF, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of award of a Single-Source Award under the Competitive
Personal Responsibility Education Program (Competitive PREP) to Healthy
Families of San Angelo (HFSA) in San Angelo, Texas to support continued
participation in the federal PREP impact evaluation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Family and Youth
Services Bureau (FYSB), announces a single-source award in the amount
of $750,000 to HFSA in San Angelo, TX for the purpose of continued
participation in the federal impact evaluation. The award allows
sufficient time to complete evaluation related activities of the Steps
to Success program. Steps to Success is a comprehensive, culturally
appropriate intervention that seeks to postpone subsequent pregnancies
and increase safe sex behaviors for high-risk pregnant and parenting
teens.
DATES: The period of support under this single-source award is February
1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LeBretia White, Manager, Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention Program, Division of Adolescent Development and
Support, Family and Youth Services Bureau, 330 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20024. Telephone: 202-205-9605; Email:
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HFSA was selected as a site for the PREP
federal impact evaluation as a result of a strong program design. The
impact evaluation addresses significant gaps in the teen pregnancy
prevention evidence base. Currently, there is little rigorous evidence
on strategies effective in reducing repeat pregnancies among adolescent
mothers. HFSA's program will help fill that gap due to its focus on
reducing subsequent pregnancies and long acting reversible
contraception. If impacts are found, the HFSA program can be added to
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services teen pregnancy
evidence review list. This award allows time for evaluation activities
to be completed including the collection and analysis of data.
Statutory Authority: Section 2953 of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act of 2010, Pub. L. 111-148, added Section 513 to
Title V of the Social Security Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. 713,
authorizing the Personal Responsibility Education Program.
